Advanced Features Formatting a SmartMedia Card Formatting is necessary to the commercially available SmartMedia (2 MB and 4 MB type) before its first use. The supplied and commercially available SmartMedia (8 MB, 16 MB and 32 MB type) are already formatted so you can use it as it is. Reformat the card when : • "READ ERROR" often appears while operating any function. • "NOT INITIALIZED" appears and you cannot use the Digital Recorder. • "FILE NO. FULL" appears and you cannot record images. Precautions: • USE THE DIGITAL RECORDER TO FORMAT A SMARTMEDIA CARD. The Digital Recorder may not recognise the recorded images on the card formatted by your computer. • Formatting a SmartMedia card deletes all images on the card, even if some or all of the images are protected. You should always make backup copies of important images on other media (e.g. floppy disks, computer hard disk). • We recommend that you use the supplied AC adapter as the power source for this function. See page 16. • Do not open the battery compartment cover while the Digital Recorder formats a SmartMedia card. Notes: • You cannot format a SmartMedia card which is physically damaged. The warning indicator "CARD ERROR" appears. • You can perform this procedure in the Movie and Still Playback mode.
